If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
‘Cos I’ve been in love before
And I’ve found that love is more
That just holding hands.

If I give my heart to you,
I must be sure from the very start
That you would love me more than her.

If I trust in you,
Oh, please don’t run and hide.
If I love you too,
Oh please don’t hurt my pride like her.
‘Cos I couldn’t stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.

So I hope you see
That I would love to love you,
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two,
‘Cos I couldn’t stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.

So I hope you see
That I would love to love you,
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two,
If I fell in love with you.
